'53 Ultramatic transmission fluid leaking out of vent

Currently doing work on my '53 Clipper automatic transmission. Speedometer gear is shooting oil at the transmission vent causing it to leak out above 40mph. My old Packard shop manual photo shows a plug in that spot and a vent located elsewhere on the trasmission. There is no other place provided for a vent on my transmission. Should I plug up that vent and drill a vent elsewhere? Otherwise, the transmission and speedometer are now working fine. Jim

Have a look at the service indexpackardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/serviceinfo/catindex.php?cat=9&series=2 There are 4 or 5 bulletins or articles regarding oil loss at breather. Scroll through. 2 are under breather, others are under oil loss. Some might not be applicable directly to your later unit but perhaps can be of help anyway.

Thank you!! Thank you!! for the help in sending those service bulletin's. The speedo gear WAS in backwards. This forum is great. Don't know what I'd have done without the assistance. Car running fine now.

As soon as I get a photo of the car and some time, I'll add it to the registry.
Jim
